Dave Hunchak - Professional Hockey Coach, General Manager, Scout, Video Analyst,
                             Analytics Specialists

Dave has been involved in sports for his entire life both competing as an athlete as well as coaching at the world level. Playing competitvley in hockey and fastball, his resume includes 3 world titles, 9 Canadian championships, and 13 provincial championships. Unfortunately, injuries halted his journey to his ultimate goal of playing in the NHL. But his passion and love for hockey and the constant yearning to be a part of a "team" lead him to coaching for over the past 21 years. 

As a player, Dave was always a captain and was relied upon to provide leadership for his team mates and be the conduit between players and coaches. He translated those skills into a very successful coaching career. He prides himself on his ability to provide leadership, accountability, and development. His unique communication skills and forward thinking allows him to excel in the "team" environment and values he believes in. "Team" building and conflict resolution are his strengths. But his biggest asset is motivating and guiding players to be not only good hockey players, but good people.

Diagnosed in 2014 with severe depression, anxiety, and OCD, he has been championing the movement for society to understand the difficulties of people suffering from and dealing with Mental Illness. In February of 2015, Dave went public with his challenges in an article with the Globe and Mail. Since the article came out, he has helped many people who struggle on a day to day basis with illness as well as people that are in a supportive role. 

Dave's playing, coaching, and life experiences has given him the tools to provide very unique and interactive seminars and workshops. "I love the challenges that sport, business, and life present. Building unity and "team" first mindsets are critical to success. Roles need to be filled, development needs to be a focus, conflict's occur. There are so many dynamics that get overlooked when operating within a group dynamic. I always revert back to the foundation of what makes up a "team". The foundation are the people that make up the "team". Understand your players and what makes them unique."

Currently the Western Canada Head Scout for ISS scouting and Vice President with Core Five Analytics, Dave can always be found around "teams". Whether it's in a rink, on a ball diamond, or at lacrosse games, he is always relied upon as a leader and provider of understanding how to make it all come together.

Dave is an avid golfer and a self admitted "hack". He loves to spend time with his kids Alyssa 17 (at least on most days), and his son Brendan 13 (on the rest of the days.)
